Manager of Academic Appointments and Promotions (Former Employee), PH 16th Floor - New York, NY –
A typical day at work, first thing in the morning write a "to do list", organize/prioritize work load, confirm deadlines., use own initiative on how to get the deadlines working and at the same time working on other tasks on my "to do list"

What I learned - At Columbia I learned that my work is a reflection of me, and I have to say I sure felt good – more...  about myself. As manager iof appointments, which are time sensitive, I left as an employee that can be trusted.

Co-workers, - great ! I am a team oriented person

The hardest part of the job - appointments have depth, and when in doubt before sending an offer letter, I took time to ask questions via e-mail.

Most enjoyable part of the job. (1) challenge of meeting all deadlines, (2) felt good about myself (3) working with the highly educated. – less
